Counseling
Why is mental health important?
• Youth learn best when they feel good about themselves and their relationships with others.
• Youth who understand their feelings are better able to control their behavior.
• We know that stress can affect focus and learning, but its impact can be reduced with proven self-regulation strategies.
• Schools, parents, and communities that communicate and collaborate provide the most effective support to children.
• Attitudes formed early on shape future attitudes towards learning, self, and society.
The mental health team strives to provide each student with a safe, caring, and nurturing environment that fosters their unique talents and strengths, and helps them acquire the necessary attitudes, knowledge, and skills to be successful in their education and become well-rounded individuals.
